Combination Sale.

10 the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, January 22.-We
will receive entries of stock
from now until Feb. 30, 1887, to be
sold at our combination sale March
9th, at Mexico, Mo. We have a sur
plus of stock, SO have many of our
friends, and we adopt this mode Of
bringing the seller and buyer to-
gether, believing it will be advantag-
ious to both. Each animal will be as
truly represented as possible, and no
mar is required to receive al animal
bought at the sale unless he is found
to be as represented. 1t is under
stood and positively agreed, that
any one placing an animal in this sale
will make no bid on the same but all
the stock will be sold upon its merits.
We will consider ourselves as much
the agent of the buyer as the seller
and still see that the rights OF both
are protected. There will be charged
a small fee for selling, not more than
3 per cent, aiming to charge only
enough to pay advertising and other
expenses. Under the above terms,
We respectfully solicite all who have
a surplus of stock, such as stations,
jacks, jennets, horses, mares or
mules for sale, to send in a full de-
scription of the same on or before
the Goth of February. We will adj
vertise them well in pamphlet form
and circulate the same extensively
over the country. We will also adver-
tise in the newspapers of this and
and adjoining counties and use all
honorable means to make the sale a
success. CLARK & PoTTs.

they succeeded admirably. It was a
lucky move when they concluded to
have dancing at the Opera House, as
their hall would have been too small
